"The bodies we wear can only take so much damage. We wear them down and eventually they stop working. But now I know that who we are lives on, even without our bodies." (page 353)
Throughout life, you are going to experience many hardships. The important thing is that you keep moving forward. That sounds very cliche but it is so very true. The way you interpret and take your experiences makes all the difference. I think the fact that the quote talks about our bodies as if it was just a change of clothes is very symbolic. As I said in a previous blog, the way you look is not everything. So the fact that the book makes it sound as if you can just change your appearance so easily is funny to me. The quote also says that we can live on even without our bodies. Now, this can be interpreted in many ways, the main way I see it, however, is that even when you die, the legacy you left behind will always be there. There will always be something for people to remember you by, and with that, you are never really dead. Another way this could be interpreted is through resurrection. I believe that when we die, we get reborn again. So technically you would still be living on, just with a whole new start, which could also represent second chances.
